Anmeldelser
This is a shallow history, which I expected from what the author wrote about the book, and I read it to find weak spots in my knowledge of history that this book might enlighten. It did, but there were not many of those spots, so mostly it was light reading or subjects with which I was familiar.
might be useful for a rapid overview of the history of US foreign policy. However, since so much is covered and so briefly, much nuance is left out; last section with his recommendations could easily be argued against by others
